Re: DC Comics Universe (maybe discussion?)

cassandra was still a batgirl in batman inc. and I actually liked batgirl when it started out with stephanie, it was good, kinda had a little buffy vibe going. I think they are doing this to bring in new readers and whatnot, and just change the status quo, its a little silly if you ask me, I dont like them setting back new people (dick) just to have the same people (bruce who I love, but cmon) in like 4-5 books themselves..... ugh.

flashpoint is decent right now, I like how cyborg is the definitive hero of this world.

and no, everything is being rebooted but the stuff johns did with blackest night and brightest day etc will still be intact in the canon.

edit-- again its not a complete reboot, its like a semi reboot\launch

I looked over and I see alot of characters getting titles that are not fan favs.Also I saw the teen titans, I won't be reading thatseriously WTF happened to them. DC can never get them straight.I'm glad blackest night and brightest day aren't getting erased.what is the cause of this flash point thing by the way. Is it fallout from the last crisis?

Re: DC Comics Universe (maybe discussion?)

I didn't find anything useful on that link you posted, aside from a link to another site with this lady with m.d. speaking about Barbara being a symbol/icon for people with disabilities and DC retconing/removing her handicap is upsetting to her, which linked to another page with some information about the new line of comic books (3 pages with more than 4 text-only paragraphs is too much for me to suffer through)

I only saw them re-mentioning that DC comics is making a first issue for 50/51/52 comic books, which doesn't say it's an entirely new story/continuity. It could easily be just a new volume for each of them (which if you only see that information it doesn't, by itself, state a new continuity).

(If you actually want me to figure it out any time soon) Can you link me to a specific source for information on a continuity change.

Re: DC Comics Universe (maybe discussion?)

check around there, they have previews to the comics on sale in september, which are alot of new number ones with relaunching stuff, they dont intentionally tell you some stuff is being redone, but they do mention stuff, also the fact some of the big characters are going to be a bit younger.

edit --- and hiv is transmitted through open wounds etc, so biting someone who has the virus could cause you to get it, not entirely sure though but its possible I think.

Do you know about the number 42?? Well, for DC Comics, the number 52 it's almost the same thing, it's like a symbolic number used in a lot of stuff and stories in the company

About the number 42, Wikipedia says:

Quote

42 (forty-two) is the natural number following 41 and preceding 43. The number has received considerable attention in popular culture because of its appearance in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".

Re: DC Comics Universe (maybe discussion?)

Maybe, though this thread really isn't about the new reboot (people just keep talking about it), it's about.... the first crisis and other DC related things.

I can tolerate the supergirl, but that superman sucks (maybe it's just the way it's drawn). If they're going to make any changes to him, they need to give him black and white suit with long hair . The superboy may look good once he's finished being built (as a cyborg/robot?)

Re: DC Comics Universe (maybe discussion?)

wtf, superman looks like he has armor on almost, I know he's the man of steel, but you don't have to make it look like his suit is too. SuperGirl's suit is nice,superboy's sucks in titans and his own title, what a letdown there.
